I've entered 4 address into this things -- four VALID addresses -- and it's
keeps telling me to enter a valid City/State/Zip combination. Microsoft, fix
this. I know what my mailing address is, and has been for 7 years.

Sorry for double post, the newsreader at support.microsoft.com said the last

You have to put in a street address also.

I believe that you need to inclue the extra 4 numbers in your zip code
example 12345-1234

You can find out what your extra 4 #'s are by typing your address here"

Then why is the Zip field not a required field?

It worked for me a while back too. But it doesn't work for me now. I have
tried several addresses and variations of my city and zip. None worked
yesterday and they don't work today.
